Tour HWY 7 in Arkansas from Harrison to Hot Springs Easter Weekend April 23?

[Ben Banks]

Hello,

A few of us are discussing a drive down HWY 7 (top ten scenic HWY) from Harrison, AR to Hot Springs AR April 23rd. Basically, the more the merrier and I wanted to see what type of response might be out there for something like this.

Please note: While it is a beautiful drive, we are looking for people who enjoy putting their cars to the test...a little bit anyway:fingersx:

Please respond back to this thread or to my personal email at [email protected].

This might also be a chance to see what cars exist in the MO, AR, KS, OK, TN cooridor and begin a solid network of pro-touring and G-Machines. Thanks for your response.

Do you think the snow will melt by then? :)

Bad timing for me but I'll watch the thread and my calendar to see what happens. Maybe.

I hope so---what a mess right? I'm out of Springfield and we have 15+ inches. If you could work out your schedule I don't think you will regret it--we plan on staying the night in Hot Springs--looking at some B&B. Some of us are bringing our better halves too (just telling them to swallow some drammamine prior to take-off)

A mere 6 inches fell here in the Little Rock area. With this weekends warm temperatures we should be out of the frozen woods quickly.

The date is only a possible for me. I can make the run, no sweat, but I'll have to shuffle a club meeting and I'm the president. I might have to see if the VP can take this one. I also have to check the local autocross schedule since the club was supposed to do that one weekend in April. It might be the same date. I'll get back to you after I get the calendar down and figure all this stuff out.

Sounds great! Send me your email address and I'll send you a simple flyer I made up that you can pass around if you want.

[critter]

Sent you a PM with it.

For anyone needing an abridged version of this trip on account of Easter please note that we will be crossing I-40 at a great point to make your departure. Also, if it is your desire to attend some type of worship service, a few of us will be attending Cross Gate church in Hot Springs Sunday morning. Our desire is to make this a big networking success so feel free to pass on any other ideas that might help!

TOUR HYW 7 is a "no-go"

I personally apologize for having to bail on this but I just received news that I am being promoted by my company and moving to Fort Worth, TX. Of course that is good news for me but the bad news is that I will not be around to organize this road run anylonger. I hope that none of you have made super special arrangements for this and I hope I am giving you plenty of time to change your plans. Thank you VERY much for your interest and I hope interest continues to grow in the southern midwest for our hobby especially via events such as this.

Thanks and sorry!
